8MM (1999)
8MM (1999) is a neo-noir thriller directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Nicolas Cage. The film follows a private investigator, Tom Welles (Cage), who is hired to investigate the authenticity of a snuff film. The film contains several sexual moments that are integral to the plot and themes of the movie.
The first sexual moment occurs when Tom meets Max California (Joaquin Phoenix), the pornographer who is connected to the snuff film. Max is a sleazy character who is surrounded by scantily clad women. This scene serves to establish Max as a morally ambiguous character and to set up the film's themes of power and control.
The second sexual moment occurs when Tom visits a strip club to investigate the snuff film. Here, he is exposed to a world of sexual exploitation and violence. This scene serves to further illustrate the film's themes of power and control, as well as to show the dark side of the porn industry.
The third sexual moment occurs when Tom meets Mary Ann (Catherine Keener), the woman who is connected to the snuff film. Mary Ann is a former porn star who is now living a quiet life. This scene serves to illustrate the consequences of a life in the porn industry and to show the contrast between Mary Ann's current life and her past.
The fourth sexual moment occurs when Tom meets Eddie Poole (James Gandolfini), the man who is connected to the snuff film. Eddie is a powerful and dangerous character who is surrounded by scantily clad women. This scene serves to illustrate the power and control that Eddie has over the women in his life.
Overall, 8MM (1999) contains several sexual moments that are integral to the plot and themes of the movie. These moments serve to illustrate the power and control that certain characters have over others, as well as the consequences of a life in the porn industry.

There is one scene of full-frontal nudity: We see a nude man and woman, and distinctly see her nude front and the man's genitalia; they proceed to lie down on a bed, presumably ready to be taped for a pornographic film.

We see a video clip of a bare-breasted woman inserting something into a man's anus.

A woman kneels in front of man; he unzips his pants and then closes the blinds so we don't see anything else.
